Hi again!
This week we got our hot water boiler fixed. For those of you just joining, a quick recap: Israeli homes almost universally have "solar heaters" on the roof, which produce piping-hot water nine months of the year. Then winter comes, and the sun just doesn't get the water hot enough (or at all, on cloudy days). So the solar heater has an electric element which heats water in case there's no sun. So we found out that our heater simply did not work any more (e.g. the water never got above barely lukewarm). Finally this week, we had a plumber come and replace the heating element. As you can see from the photo, the inside is filled with brown stuff - calcium and rust deposits, which prevent the element inside from actually heating the water.
